Plants to sow in January or February

The advantage of planting seeds early is that it gives them a chance to flower in the first year after sowing, a perfect way to add colour to your borders in the summer.

Sow the seeds indoors in January or February in a warm and well-lit environment, moving the seedlings outside when they have grown and the weather has warmed up. Bring indoors if the weather does get cold, avoid any late frosts.
